Chapter 140: Just Wait and See

As the news cameras shifted their focus, the crowd, infuriated by Amber's audacity to continue her tirade, swarmed the scene to confront her.

The mother who accused their son of pedophilia and the daughter who accused her foster father of indecency?" one nurse said. "Yeah, they had their heads split open. We intentionally reduced their anesthesia during stitching; they screamed in agony!" another responded with a smirk. The nurses laughed and walked away.

Recollecting the twenty-three stitches the surgeon had shown them, a cold smile slowly formed on Tina's lips.
